Prestige Awards

[JoeS8]

(Feel free to disregard post if similar ideas have already been shared within staff)

I've been thinking about the prestige and how we can make it a real incentive for players to grind away and reach it and I think a welcome addition would be some sort of reward for reaching your first, second prestige and so on. I'm not entirely sure what these rewards could be and can vary on the senior team's discretion. Anything along the lines of donor points, prestige commands or very high level kits would be appropriate for the hard work it takes to achieve a prestige.

I know the general feeling towards my rank is that it should have taken MUCH longer to obtain but I want to put my in game hours into perspective - 3days/20hrs is the last I checked today. That is 92 hours I have pretty much spent on reaching Heisenberg (digging out personal farm, filling it up with drugs to grow, growing and harvesting A LOT). It's an awful lot of time that I have invested to get this far, not as 'quick' as it may seem on the surface.

My reasoning for said suggestion: Incentive. If you can really add incentive for grinding away to prestige to the players you will start a domino effect. More money people have will mean a much stronger and flexible economy. It will get people using their playershops more and trying to monopolize by undercutting other sellers (and we need a good economy if we are even remotely thinking about introducing corporations). Not to mention it will encourage faction raiding as big farms will be made to make big money.

I don't know if a prefix will be enough to make players want to grind out that much money. If they knew they were getting a great reward at the end of the hard work I think you'd find many players taking the game progression seriously.

Just a thought. Feel free to criticize.

Options on top of my head are thing like a stack of keys, a prebuilt base, prebuilt autofarm, statue at spawn, real estate property at spawn, etc

Some great ideas here. Only thing i'm not completely sure on are prebuilt autofarms because it's most likely players who have earned that much money will have stacked farms anyway. Auto cactus might be an nice option as those who don't have one can use an afk pool by it.

1. Stack of keys (could be a mix of all the crates we have available).
2. Prebuilt bases - This would be a nice idea, I had this noted down myself. Could have a couple in the mix with varying sizes and protection.
3. Real estate property is a really nice one. Add property with good locations (near pollos/jail/marina/clubs) and that will be a widely sought after option.
4. Statue at spawn - I like this idea but it depends if you want all rewards to match one other in value or if you want to create an element of chance in reward sizes. Would struggle to find this as valuable as 1,2 or 3 if we are going for the former.
5. Donor points - Thought of this before - could really turn the % down low to make it less OP but can understand how this might be a little too valuable. Can be discussed within senior team.
6. Miscellaneous - these could be some in game benefits to the player. EG: MCMMO boosts, special prestige commands, one time /kits etc. Once again would need discussing to balance value against other rewards.

Joe is SrStaff member responsible for owning this. In regards to your ideas 1-yes, 2-yes (but we need to build more -- @thepenmen22 needs help from someone very familiar with raiding mechanics, maybe @FatedKusari) 3-yes, but in a timed capacity (i.e. 90 days - to avoid ppl leaving the server and owning real estate), 4-Yes (manual by admin/builder), 5-Yes, enough for MVP rank @ 1%, 6-like the concept of a /kit prestige, that could be won from the crate. Need detail into what items - maybe a kit consisting of (4 end crystals, 4 stacks TNT, 4 stacks Diamond Blocks, 4 stacks obsidian, 4 stacks gold blocks, 4 stacks lapis, 4 stacks redstone blocks, etc)
